Goldplay’s First Drill Hole Intersects 204.6 g/t Gold at San Marcial

Goldplay President and CEO Marcio Fonseca commented, ‘The high-grade gold-silver intercept is highly significant as it supports the Company’s goal of expanding the San Marcial resource. It is the first time in approximately 10 years that any type of exploration work has been carried out on the project. One year ago, our data indicated high-grade silver, lead and zinc at San Marcial. Today, we have added high-grade gold. We are committed to continue systematic exploration and drill programs at San Marcial’

SSR Mining Provides July 2019 Exploration Update

At the Pitarrilla project, we are reviewing drill programs and engineering studies to identify additional zones and continuity of high grade Mineral Resources with the potential to improve project economics based on current metal prices. We are evaluating contractors to extend the existing underground access and drill these areas. If approved, drilling is anticipated to commence in the second half of 2020.

Riverside Expands Into Canada Staking New High-Grade Gold Project

Riverside’s President and CEO, John-Mark Staude, stated: “The Oakes Project is the first project Riverside’s generative team has staked in western Ontario and the Company plans to continue diversifying its portfolio with further Canadian gold prospects when high-quality acquisition opportunities present themselves. Adding Canadian assets to our portfolio expands our prospective partner network further, with access to flow-through financing and other exploration tax credit programs. We are pleased with the greater than 20 g/t gold assay results from our initial work at the Oakes Project and plan to follow up these positive results with more mapping, sampling and survey work in 2019. Our aim is to define compelling drill targets to attract quality partnerships and provide our shareholders with additional discovery opportunities.”

Silver Bull Makes New Discovery and Intercepts 13.25 Meters of Massive Sulphide Grading 9.05% Zinc, 2.12% Lead and 16g/t Silver, Including 5.85 Meters Grading 11.93% Zinc, 2.83% Lead and 24g/t Silver in Coahuila, Mexico

Tim Barry, President, CEO and director of Silver Bull states, ‘Four of the five holes announced in this news release are focused within the Palomas Negros area. This is a historical mining area that lies 9 kilometers to the west of the main deposit at Sierra Mojada. The Palomas Negros area has never been assessed with modern exploration techniques and has long been recognized as an exciting target to be followed up. Work is ongoing to fully understand the controls on the mineralization at Palomas Negros, but to get a high grade intercept over 13.25 meters in a first pass drill pass drill program is very encouraging, especially so close to surface.’

Sonoro Files NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Cerro Caliche Project in Mexico

Kenneth MacLeod, President and CEO of Sonoro commented, ‘The establishment of a maiden estimate of mineral resources at Cerro Caliche provides a strong foundation from which potentially to expand the mineralization along strike and at depth from many of the mineralized zones documented in the Technical Report. We are pleased to confirm that many of the recommendations contained in the Technical Report are either being actively pursued, or will be implemented shortly, including; metallurgical testing, 3D modelling of the structure, and a 7,000 meter drilling program comprising diamond drilling and reverse-circulation drilling to increase the confidence of the known mineralization and to identify potential expansion of known mineralization.’

Mining Underway at Oposura

Commenting on the milestone Azure Managing Director Tony Rovira said: ‘I would like to thank the entire Azure team for all their hard work over the past two years. We acquired Oposura in August 2017, and to be commencing an early-stage, low-cost, high-grade mining operation within 24 months is a great achievement.’

GoGold Drills 21.4m averaging 3.08 g/t Gold Equivalent in Deepest Hole at Los Ricos

‘We are very pleased to see the significant widths and grades encountered in the latest deep drill hole. The results from the initial short holes confirm that while the former underground operators focused on mining only the richest portion of the silver-rich Los Ricos vein, we are very encouraged to see that both the hanging wall and footwall portions of the vein are strongly mineralized this close to surface,’ stated Brad Langille, President and CEO.

Evrim announces exploration results from Sarape project, Mexico

Evrim Resources Corp. announces drill results from the 2019 maiden drilling program at the Sarape project in Sonora, Mexico. At the completion of the program, the Company’s exploration partner, a subsidiary of Coeur Mining, Inc. relinquished their option on the project.

Avino Announces Results From Hanging-wall Breccia Sampling Campaign

‘The drill results from this sampling campaign are encouraging and indicate that our team in Mexico has once again successfully met the challenge to find higher grades and thick veins, both as replacement for the closure of San Gonzalo and potentially improve margins before the end of this year’, said David Wolfin, President and CEO.

SilverCrest Receives Operating Permit for Las Chispas

N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng, and CEO, remarked, ‘The approval of the MIA is a key milestone for Las Chispas. The MIA should enable SilverCrest to have all major operating permits in hand ahead of our scheduled construction timeline. With the anticipated completion of a successful Feasibility Study in H1, 2020, the Company is well positioned to project finance and begin construction activities in H2, 2020. We are extremely pleased with the progress that our team has made in the 3.5 years that we’ve been exploring at Las Chispas. We continue to work hard to simultaneously de-risk and add value to the Project in a cost-efficient manner. Congratulations to the team and the communities that support us in securing this key permit for development of Las Chispas.’
